How to grow bougainvillea

1. Soil

It is best to use loose, well-drained soil for growing light leaves. You can mix garden soil, humus soil, and sandy soil.

2. Lighting

It is necessary to ensure sufficient light during its growth period. If the light is insufficient, it will affect its growth and flowering. In winter, it is best to place it on a south-facing balcony or windowsill and give it more than 8 hours of light a day, otherwise it will cause leaves to fall.

3. Temperature

The bougainvillea should be given a growing environment of 15-30℃. The temperature should be maintained at 19-30℃ from May to September, and the temperature should be maintained at 13-16℃ from October to April of the following year. If the summer temperature is higher than 35℃, shade measures should be taken and proper ventilation should be ensured. The temperature in winter should not be lower than 5℃, as too low temperature will cause leaves to fall.

4. Watering

Normally, wait until the soil is dry before watering it, and make sure to water it thoroughly. Stop fertilizing during the water control period, as it is easy to burn the plant roots.
